Slow Down and Enjoy Life

We like to stay pretty active when we travel because there’s always so much to see and do. Port Douglas is one of those places that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. The laid back town has a really family-friendly vacation vibe. You can take a leisurely stroll around town, stopping in the shops and grabbing lunch. Or you can spend the entire day laying on the beach and swimming in ocean waters so warm they feel like bath water – which is exactly what we did a couple days in a row. It was a great way to recharge our batteries and catch up on some guilty pleasure reading while working on my sun tan. 

A Real Rainforest!

We made the short drive from Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation and had the best day exploring this lush seaside rainforest. There are really cool boardwalks built through the forest with signs explaining the various plants and animals that live in the area. There are amazing beaches that look like no one has ever stepped foot on them before. At one point, I told Josh that it felt like we were on a private plane that crashed on an island and we were the only people around. One of my favorite stops of the day was an exotic fruit tasting at a local farm. It was so fun tasting so many amazing fruits from all over the world.
